Adult. Sensitive being. All of the birds this day. A good number of ducks, pigeons and gulls were roosting peacefully along the water when I arrived, and I saw fore me, how I would get photos of a good number of banded gulls. But then, before getting the camera ready, all the birds took flight simultaneously, Screaming as if a life-threating danger had emerged. I looked around, but couldn't see anything. No raptors and no persons or dogs approaching. Maybe it was just a hysterical whim they responded to, after all. But then when I got clear along the path and could overlook the water, there was this very red balloon floating on the water and coming down this way. All the birds were gone, except for the hybrid, and when the balloon got closer it was obvious that the bird did not like it. Either I would say, because it was probably what caused the alarm before. It started to swim faster away from the balloon toward the other bank. But as the balloon continued in the same direction the bird for a moment seemed in panic, but then eventually started to swim in the other direction, toward me, and away from the balloon that got caught by the reeds on the far bank, and ended its journey there I presume. And the hybrid calmed down, having avoided the eminent red danger. Unfortunately the gulls didn't return before I decided to continue. |
